HeII's Kitchen.
The following is from New York let
ter In the Chicarr, H.ra

The following is from New York let
ter in the Chicago Mad:
The particular resort known as HelPs
Kitchen is a group Of tenement-houses
on the west side of New York, in the vi
cinity Of Thirty ninth street The police
men in the night patrol in the middle Of
the street. Otherwise they would be kill
ed by bricks and rocks that are cast at
them from the housetops- Something
like go arrests were made in Hells
Kitchen last year, and ordinary fights,
scufiies. wife-beatings and inhuman treat
nent of children are Obliged 10 pass un-
noticed About 1000 squalid, wretched,
addressed, dirty and repulsive men, wo-
men and children are crowded into few
tenements there, and their only ambition
apparently is to kill a policeman on the
beat and take an occasional drubDing out
of each other Young thieves are trained
IN most artistic manner, and If petty
criminal can only get away from the po-
lice and secrete himself somewhere in
the Kitchen" il Is the labor Of life
time To find him. There are lot of
queer old rookeries in some of the yards
Of the tenements, and some of these are
furnished with all sorts of underground
passages, and queer dives and ferret
holes.
Sebastapol is a block or two off from
Hell's Kitchen" | went there once
with police sergeant and some friends
from Cincinnati. They went to see what
the sgualor Of New York life really was.
After they had seen it they SEEMED per-
fectly satisfied with Cincinnati Ny pur-
pose originally was to visit the place late
Ut night, but the police would not hear
Of that, so We went around between
and 5 O'Clock in the evening The door
of the first tenement We came to was
black with people. Half-naked children
lay sprawling ON the sidewalk, sIatternly
and epulsive-loCking women leaned out
of the windows, and men who were only
partially dressed lounged about in the
Railways and on the steps Droyes of
'iissolute ami dirty-looking girls and wo-
Inen were gossiping in the halls, and
three brawny Irishmen who had just
come in from the gas works diffused the
odor of that useful Illuminating fluid
throughout the place. The variety of
Odors was something appalling and the
siekening. The inmates stared
at Us first, ard then began 10 groan, yell
and howl ike 30 many maniacs. One
policeman had been killed and three bad
iy wounded on that beat during the
month.
Many Of the tenements IN New York
are inhabited by people who, though just
as poor a. the inmates of Helfs kiteh-
en- Sebastapol and Battle Row, are new
cleanly and decent in the mat
ter of attire and personal surroundings.
But in these cesspools Of vice and wick
edness there is not single feature that
elevates the inmates above the level of
the brute creation.

Sitting Down with a Preacher

In western town dwells Elder r..
clergyman very well known throughout
his State for ability and shrewdness 1t
is pretty generally believed, on account
of his evident knowledge of the ways of
the world that he was rather rapid
IN his youth. Among his skeptieal neigh
bors is a hotel-keeper Of jovial disposi-
ton and liberal heart. Whenever the
elder has specially convincing and
sweeping discourse prepared. il Is his
wont to give special invitations to his
doubting friends to be present, and these
are sometimes accepted with the proyis-
ion that the dominic and his lady shall
meet the party at the hotel AT dinner on
an appointed day during the week, 30
they may have an opportunity to defend
themselves. On these occasions dinner
often lasts the whole afternoon, and the
elder Is obliged 10 parry the combined
blows of the opposition.
On one occasion mine host found his
match in the eiergvmanin a worldly way
and it was this circumstance that | set
out to relate. The landlord returned on
a certain Sunday evening from trip to
the far west, and next morning found
him, with his wife. seated IN a front pew.
When the plate was passed he felt in all
his pockets, but could find oply comb.
;aol- kpifa and a cir.rlar ,,Soao Of ivory
marked . b. which Is supposed by poker
players to represent value This latter
was dropped in the plate under the vigi-
liant eve of the pastor, but unnoticed by
the sexton, whose eyes had been dimmed
By age. On receiving the collection the
pastor missed the chip and asked the
sexton for it. The latter had thrown it
away, supposing it To be a mark Of disre-
spect from some scoffer. Elder 4 knew
his man, and caused the representative of
value 70 be recovered. Next morning, as
the landlord was dilating upon his trip
TO a crowd of friends in his office, Elder
r. appeared, and advancing to the eoun-
ter. placed the chip down with click 30
familiar 10 connoissieurs, and asked
"Can you redeem that this morning.
Brother :"
OF course :. could not do less than
hand out fise-dollar bill, and the elder
departed, after expressing the hope that
he might always be as lucky. Mine host
says he shall not a sit down with
preacher again
